I agree TFA was a retread I give it 3.5/10. TLJ ruined Luke's legacy from the EU. Failed in China for many reasons, popup video blurbs ..

dumbed the movie down and annoyed the audience thinking that they were stupid to figure out or know the stories.  The Disney StarWars is rolling out poorly.  I think Lucas originally wanted to re-release the OT as 3D to reintroduce them to the world. Disney's has banked on nostaglia at the same time destroying it and saying they want to replace the loyal fans with other fans.


I never said the OT was a work of art. Lucas acknowledges it was a children's tale of good vs evil.. But it's infinitely better written than TFA or TLJ... which is saying a lot since the dialog of the prequels isn't great.

The Chinese have a word "baizou" which is a derogatory term for the "white left" and the naive values the leftist, communist espouse. The Chnese lived through decades of scarity, starvation and stagnation of communism so aren't too keen on the anticapitalism of the Canto casino arc.  China is on the rise and sees leftist values as decadent.

As to Snob lol he's a conservative?? That's shocking.. He has attacked me and others multiple times just for disagreeing... just like a leftist.

He could have been professional and just explained Disney titles aren't tracked by the.number but he took the next step and insulted me.  He thinks he's morally superior and attributes the typical leftist ad hominem attacks instead of just stating his case.

Anyone following the SW The Last Jedi Blu-ray, 4k, DVD releasing? On Blu-ray.com Last Jedi is not ranked under preorders... Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 17, 15:02

That's because pre-orders aren't available on Amazon, no Disney titles are IIRC. Some kind of dispute between the two. {nm} -JPV- Mar 17, 15:21

However, after the release date, they'll be available to purchase. {nm} -JPV- Mar 17, 15:22

This has happened in the past, I believe they (Amazon) did the same to Warner a couple years ago. {nm} -JPV- Mar 17, 15:24

its standard with Disney titles and has been for awhile. There's only one place where DVD/BD sales are tracked accurately - videoscan Moviesnob Mar 17, 15:29

Did know stuckupsnob, I use thenumber.com and bluray for an idea. Just have to wait another month until on thenumber.com for validity. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 17, 15:57

the-numbers.com are just estimates and they are not accurate so you'll have to find something else to cling your racism to! Moviesnob Mar 17, 16:16

Ah racism charge.... used when leftists loses arguments... The.numbers..com will be close enough to prove TLK is worst selling SW title. {nm} Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 17, 17:08

but you won't know that b/c you don't have access to the actual information. Thats the problem with being both stupid and having Moviesnob Mar 17, 17:30

Damn. {nm} ShawnMR Mar 17, 17:53

First off, how is not liking SW TLK racist???? Second, I asked why it wasn't ranked, didn't see likely it wasn't ranked Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 17, 18:29

lol Since you used a pejorative first...only fair MS identifies you as a racist. So, since you were first...I guess you really lost the Catzan Mar 18, 00:08

Snob often attacks people with differing points of view and attributes it to the worst possible motivations. Trying to deligitimizing any. Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 18, 00:47

Conservative nerd arguments are the most tedious, boring arguments in all the land. {nm} Bronzey Mar 18, 07:08

Snob your have the confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance. Also YOU'RE the racist. In your world a director, or actor can't stand on... Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 18, 00:17

Hilarious that you target TLJ as some sort of disaster, as if the original trilogy is a work of art numbersix_99 Mar 18, 02:48

I agree TFA was a retread I give it 3.5/10. TLJ ruined Luke's legacy from the EU. Failed in China for many reasons, popup video blurbs .. Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 18, 21:52

and it wouldn't matter if moviesnob was conservative or not. He is always respectful of other posters and uses actual data, research and CSBD Mar 19, 13:22

why do we have to put up with this **** constantly on the board again? {nm} slipping jimmy Mar 18, 08:49

It's ridiculous. {nm} CSBD Mar 18, 09:43

Agreed. This post might get deleted, but I have to say this... STONYRN Mar 18, 11:52

Ruin Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy openly talk about the feminist agenda for SW, the female only SW story group, the force is female.. Baron_Darcon2017 Mar 18, 21:52

All the main characters are flawed but largely compelling. Flaws are what make someone interesting numbersix_99 Mar 19, 01:55
